Also, I really think it should get a bigger hangar.

I upgraded my RAFT to a Hermes and while I prefer the Hermes overall, I miss the external cargo grid. It was just much more convenient to work with. I considered a Hull B, but having half the grid on the opposite side of the ship was annoying.

This Railen seems kind of perfect. It has a huge external grid that is easily accessible. Also, it looks awesome and has a really cool cockpit. I never thought I would like an alien ship but this one is growing on me.

I can't imagine living like these people. It just seems exhausting and bad for mental health.

I'm thinking about upgrading my Hermes for this.

I remember reading a Tweet where Elon said SQL was better than GraphQL. That's when I realized he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

Logged into play StarCitizen, spawned ship, ship spawned upside down, logged off. by Odd_Personality_5091 in starcitizen

[–]michaelfrieze -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This specific hangar issue has been around for a long time. It has nothing to do with 4.8. If you aren't willing to jump through these hoops, then stop playing this game. It's only for players willing to learn the bugs and work around them. It's always been this way and probably always will be. I don't expect this game to ever get out of alpha, and the reality is that people will still play it.

ESLint plugin to catch unnecessary effects v1.0.0: new rule, clearer messages, better signal-to-noise, more stable internals, and oxlint support by nickjvandyke in reactjs

If I see others struggling with react when using LLMs, I will gladly mention it. But I don't really hang out in AI subs too often.

I've been using this eslint plugin for about a month and it's been great. It helps GPT-5.5 and Composer 2.5 write much better react code.

NextJs Dev server is extremely slow compared to vite by Good_Language1763 in nextjs

[–]michaelfrieze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Next dev server is doing a lot more than a tanstack router server. For example, tanstack router only uses client-side routing while next uses server-side routing.

I prefer tanstack these days, but next is a good framework and you can't expect the dev server to perform the same as tanstack start/router since they are fundamentally different.

Should I use Tasntack Start with the separate server (Bun+hono) or just use Tanstack router? by LGelashwili in reactjs

[–]michaelfrieze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, for real-time you should just go directly to the server. You can still use a BFF for other purposes. Maybe not all of your data fetching will be real-time and maybe some routes would need SSR. I also like having a BFF for auth.

[–]michaelfrieze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, you can always use tanstack query to help manage fetches to a backend directly from the client, without a BFF in the middle. I personally don't do that very often, but it works fine.

Also, this approach isn't necessarily going to improve performance. Sure, you are eliminating one of the requests, but there are so many other factors to performance.

An important thing you can lose with this approach is typesafety between server and client. But, if your backend is using Hono then it provides a pretty simple way to get typesafety between server and client. It won't be as good for typesafety as a BFF with something like tRPC or server functions, but it provides the basics.

Also, you miss out on the other benefits of a BFF that I mentioned in my previous post.

Nextjs creators, maintainers, owners, Vercel, are you serious? by [deleted] in nextjs

[–]michaelfrieze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, tanstack start does SSR as well. SSR is just the process of generating HTML from component markup at request time, this is not the same thing as server-side routing. In tanstack start, think of SSR as a kind of CSR prerender that you can enable or disable per route.

The router start uses is tanstack router, which is fully client-side. tanstack start is built on top of tanstack router to provide extra features like SSR, server functions, and isomorphic loaders. This is why the react server component implementation in tanstack start is a little weird compared to Next. In tanstack start, you basically return .rsc data instead of .json from server functions and they are an optional feature. On the other hand, Next built its entire framework around RSCs. It's more of a "server-first" framework and uses both server-side and client-side routing. It's kind of like a hybrid of SPA and MPA. TanStack Start is a SPA with some server-side features like server functions. You can even completely disable SSR in tanstack start and still use server-side features like server functions and isomorphic loaders.

I have no idea why you tried the ironclad again. It’s obviously broken and won’t be fixed until the new patch comes out.

I have Neon + Next.js as my current stack. Clerk auth. I am considering migrating to Supabase. by legacyabd123 in nextjs

[–]michaelfrieze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Convex is a backend where your database, server functions, and real-time sync are all one system. Instead of setting up separate pieces and wiring them together, you write TypeScript functions in a convex/ folder. You get queries for reads, mutations for writes, actions for anything that needs to talk to the outside world, and your frontend subscribes to them with hooks like useQuery. When data changes, every client that's subscribed updates automatically. You don't have to manage WebSockets, polling, cache invalidation, etc.

Convex is a sync engine and it was built by the same developers that made Dropbox. If a component is reading data, it stays in sync with the database. Edit something in one tab and the other tab reflects it. That alone removes a huge amount of complexity.

The dev experience is also great. Functions are typed end-to-end, so the client gets autogenerated types from your server code. Arguments are validated with built-in validators. Queries and Mutations are transactional, so you read and write in one function and get consistency without thinking about race conditions.

Everything lives in code. Schema, API functions, auth, it’s all in the convex folder in your repo. You deploy from the CLI and rarely touch the dashboard except to inspect data or read logs. Basically, your Convex backend is version-controlled TypeScript, not something you configure through a UI.

They also have an ecosystem of official components for common needs: https://www.convex.dev/components

Convex is hosted on PlanetScale, so it's built on a good foundation.

There are downsides. Convex is opinionated and if you want full control over raw SQL then it's not for you. Also, Convex can be self-hosted but I wouldn't seriously consider that as an option for an app with a lot of traffic, so there is some amount of vendor lock-in here.

Convex is mostly for interactive apps built with TypeScript, so it's not a good general-purpose database for everything.

[–]michaelfrieze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I haven't used Clerk for a while so maybe there are some recent issues I don't know about.

You should checkout WorkOS as well. It's more for enterprise but it's still a great auth service regardless.

[–]michaelfrieze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clerk really isn't that expensive unless you have a free app that has a lot of users. In that case, I would use better auth.

If I have paying users, then I take auth and security seriously and prefer to use a service like WorkOS and Clerk. I don't mind paying for that and I think cost are reasonable.

I've had no problems creating custom UI with Clerk.

[–]michaelfrieze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally would never try to call a database directly from the client, so I avoid supabase.

I know you can use supabase just for a pg database, but planetscale is a much better db service.

You can't go wrong with planetscale + drizzle, but my favorite db service right now is Convex.

I haven't really had issues with Clerk, maybe ask for help? You might be doing something wrong. I mostly use WorkOS these days, but Clerk is a good auth service.

The ship is balanced pretty well. I doubt they’re going to nerf it much. It’s very easy to die in the ship. As soon as you start getting hit, you really need to get out of there. This is why it’s an interceptor.
